English is spoken all over the world with a variety of regional dialects and accents, but there are two distinct types of English – British English and American English – each with slight differences in spelling, grammar, and pronunciation. British English (sometimes called ‘Commonwealth English’) is spoken in London and throughout the British Isles and is the main dialect spoken in the former British Colonies throughout the world.
London is also home to some of the best English language schools in the world, with qualifications that are globally recognised and that open doors to further education or career progression. London has no less than 47 excellent universities, colleges, and tertiary education facilities where you can continue your studies once you have mastered the English language. Most of the universities, with the exception of the ICL (Imperial College London), are part of a confederation called University of London (ULU) that together with Cambridge and Oxford form the golden triangle of British universities.
